Abstract
The questions of the coreference of the NP-subject with an element of the main sentence and that of its presence or absence are some of the most debated in grammars as far as the absolute clauses are concerned. The objective pursued in this work is to demonstrate that these syntactic features (coreference and presence / absence) of the subject make it possible to distinguish absolute clauses from related structures such as concerted constructions, incidental adjectives, semiabsolute and pseudo-absolute clauses. In the analysis, we base ourselves on a descriptive perspective with a traditional terminology, and sometimes we resort to the corresponding Latin structures to highlight the formal and structural differences induced by the coreference and the presence / absence of the subject in these constructions
